Katie's Corner

As 2021 has come to a destined close, I felt it best to write a retrospective of the ups, downs and adventures of such as ever-changing year.  Beginning in January, my Mother and me kicked in the New Year with a watch of "Gone With The Wind" and enjoyed our usual Snowball Cake. Soon after, second semester of Freshman year began as I continued with my Major in Dance. In the Spring I was met with a personal hardship of bullying and harassment on social media. I will not go into great detail, but the ramifications left me with a broken heart and a deleted Twitter account. I realized that the app, although a presumably great way to connect with people, is a weapon of disaster for some, and by my conscience, I knew when to leave. During the time I was getting through finals and doing my best to keep my grades in check. This was a lot of pressure and stress to have, but by God's grace and direction, I passed my exams and received A's in my finals.  On May 3, I turned 21 yea...

In honor of the last day in February, here is a short story of the love story between King Louis and Queen Marie Antoinette of France. Although this pair started off as two foreigners to each other, their bond would hold them together in the most grievous hour. Let us take a moment and learn of this royal love.              King Louis XVI by Joesph Duplessis and Queen Marie Antoinette by Elisabeth Vigée Le Brun.

Dearest Readers, Welcome to "Katie's Corner". Whilst on this blog you will find an assortment of articles and posts. My affection for faith, history, and classic entertainment has emboldened me to create this blog to share my passions with others. Due to the limited number of words one can say on social media, it is hard for an individual to share their interests, opinions and views without conjecture or misinterpretation. Being one to share my thoughts openly, I would like to grow upon works I have created in the past and continue to write.  Going into this year of 2021, I pray we all find a simplicity of happiness wherever it may be. I look to the era gone by in which ladies were ladies, fashion was unique and life evolved around glorifying their creator. Although many may not share such affinity, I hope the aspects brought to this blog can have a positive impact on others.  With gracious thanks, Katie Carr
